FAQ

What causes acne?

A: There are a slew of types of acne and causes, which is why it’s notoriously difficult to treat. The most common type is acne vulgaris.

Hundreds of tiny glands called sebaceous glands lie just beneath the surface of the skin. Their function is to collect and excrete sebum – an oily substance produced to keep the skin from drying out. Sometimes the pathways where this sebum is excreted become clogged and a type of bacteria called P. acnes grows. The area swells up and a pesky pimple forms on the surface of the skin. In some cases, this process becomes extremely active making acne frequent and hard to control.

Most people will develop acne at some point in their lives. General causes include:

Diet: Some patients are bothered by caffeine (coffee, tea, soda and chocolate), nuts, peanut butter, fried or greasy foods, dairy products, salt, pastry and beer. If you suspect you may have a food allergy, eliminate the likely offender for a four-week trial period.

What is acne?

A: Besides being the bane of many of our existences, acne is characterized by comedones (a fun word for blackheads or whiteheads), papules, pustules, cysts and nodules. It typically affects the face, chest, back and shoulders. If it’s left untreated or treated inappropriately, picked at, or otherwise irritated, it can result in permanent scars. Therefore, waiting to “outgrow” acne without treatment can be a serious mistake.
